Question

I am trying to make a Dialog that has an EditText on it where the user will type and then click OK.

I have not been able to find any examples of this type of Dialog (text to speech translation)

Can you please point me towards a reference or provide an example?

You can use the AlertDialog.Builder to customize an alert dialog. In particular the setView() method will allow you to add Views to the dialog, in this case an EditText.

EditText et = new EditText(this);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setView(et)
.setPositiveButton("Yes",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
        String input = et.getText().toString();
                //do something with input
        }
});
AlertDialog ad = builder.create();
ad.show();
